The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a methodical and punishing tactical card game where careful deck preparation and story consequences keep you tense and thoughtful.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle-like tactical battles and strong visuals, but many say it is not really a deckbuilder despite looking like one, and complain about a rushed ending. Comparisons to the first game are common, with some preferring the new simpler style and others calling it a weak parody.
